Rh complexes of 1-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl-)3-methyl-1H-phosphole: preparation and use as catalysts in the hydroformylation of styrene

In the series of 1-(2,4,6-trialkylphenyl-)3-methyl-1H-phospholes (1a–c) that are to a certain extent of aromaticity, only the isopropyl substituted one (1a) entered into reaction with dimeric (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium dichloride to afford Rh(III) complex (2a) in a reversible manner. After a careful workup, (2a) could be prepared and characterized whose stereostructure was elucidated by B3LYP/3–21G*, B3LYP/6–31G* and LANL2DZ calculations. Complex (2a) as a preformed catalyst, as well as the Rh(acac)(CO)₂ + 2(1a) in situ catalytic system were useful in the hydroformylation of styrene and gave the branched aldehyde in regioselectivities of 65–96%.

Achieving ‘Desirable and Feasible’ Change: An Application of Soft Systems Methodology

Rational intervention in human affairs, if it is to constitute not only action but also research, so that future interventions may be made more effective, needs a well-defined methodological framework. Soft systems methodology (S.S.M.) provides one such framework. S.S.M. is doubly systemic: it is itself a learning system, and within that system it uses systems models, models of human activity systems. It accepts that such models are not models of parts of the real world, only models of ways of perceiving the real world, that is to say, models relevant to debate about ‘reality’ (one man's ‘terrorism’ is another's ‘freedom fighting’).S.S.M. is here illustrated by means of an account of a systems study of change in the information function of a sophisticated science-based company. The study is described from the point of view of a professional analyst who was helping a team of three managers carry out the study. The course of the study is described, and a separate commentary relates its activity to the seven stages of S.S.M. The study involved three cycles round stages 2–3–4–5 of S.S.M., the stages in which models of relevant human activity systems are built and compared with the real world in order to construct a rich debate about changes whose introduction in the problem situation world be both (systemically) desirable and (culturally) feasible.     

Nonequilibrium solid phase formation studied by lattice dynamics calculation and ion beam mixing in an immiscible Co-Ag system

For the equilibrium immiscible Co-Ag system, a proven realistic ab initio derived n-body potential is applied to study the nonequilibrium solid phase formation at three chemical stoichiometries of Co/Ag = 1:3, 1:1, and 3:1. To predict the structural stability, the elastic constants and the phonon spectra are calculated at the chosen stoichiometries with a total of eight hypothetical crystalline structures. The calculated results suggest that four compounds, that is, D0(3) CoAg3, B1 CoAg, B2 CoAg, and D0(3) Co3Ag, are unstable, as they all feature negative elastic constants as well as imaginary phonons, and that another four compounds of both fcc-type L1(2) and hcp-type D0(19) structures at chemical stoichiometries of Co/Ag = 1:3 and 3:1, respectively, may elastically be favored and therefore obtainable under some specific conditions. It is also found that all the calculated elastic constants and phonon spectra are coincident within the framework of the elastic theory. Moreover, the calculated elastic constants are in good agreement with those acquired directly from ab initio calculations, lending support to the validity of the ab initio derived n-body Co-Ag potential as well as its resultant elastic constants and the phonon spectra. Interestingly, some of the predicted nonequilibrium solid phases, that is, two hcp-type compounds at chemical stoichiometries of Co/Ag = 1:3 and 3:1, respectively, are indeed obtained in ion beam mixing experiments and their lattice constants determined by diffraction analysis are in good agreement with those from calculations.     

The anion sequence in the phase transformation of mesostructures templated by non-ionic block copolymers

A p6m to Ia3d mesophase evolution is achieved by simply adjusting the acidity and/or anion species in the presence of block copolymers; the unusual anion sequence that affects the phase behavior of block copolymer templated mesostructured solids is revealed to be SO(4)(2-)(HSO(4)(-)) > NO(3)(-) > Br(-) > Cl(-).
